Nick Randell
ARTS. LIFESTYLE. SNS ONLINE.
SNS Online started its life as a weekly hour long LGBTQ magazine/music show on national Irish dance music station, RTÉ Pulse - running on and off for four years. Since then the show has evolved as an online showcase for actors, musicians, journalists, authors, script writers, stand-up comedians and more - all in the form of exclusive/in-depth one-to-one interviews (with full illustration and free download availability). These shows are independent podcasts produced to the highest professional standards and are non-profit making (also unhindered by advertising). Nick himself describes SNS Online as an 'audio love letter' to all who take part. But don't take his word for it - dive in!
SNS Online's Nick Randell has worked in radio/TV sound for over 25 years at the BBC. He has also presented for the BBC World Service - 'Pop Phrases' (a 20 part BBC English series), the UK top ten for the Azeri stream (in English, not Azeri!), radio packages for numerous BBC regions (also World Service), and finally Irish national, RTÉ (four series of weekly hour shows - music/features/guests Weds 7-8pm). TV appearances Blue Peter (BBC One), The One Show (BBC One), Gaytime TV (BBC Two), The Working Life (ITV).

As a regular part of Corona Chronicles, presenter Nick Randell reads a bulletin of the latest world news at the end of each show (mainly for pandemic related “archive” purposes - unless people download the same day). But as newsreading is not the most natural skill for Nick, he can often be heard late into the night staggering and slathering his way through a paltry 3 minutes of news items, over a 20 minute recording session...
So, enjoy this slice of outtakes from a recent bulletin, although you might need earplugs for the language..!

We kick off our 6th online series with family favourite, John Challis - known in equal measure as Monty Stains from Benidorm and Boycie from Only Fools and Horses/The Green Green Grass! There's plenty of other work to investigate too - including his extensive range of theatre and television roles, featuring - amongst others - a star villainous turn in Doctor Who!
We take up the story at the Kenton Theatre in Henley-On-Thames, where John is just about to tread the ol' boards in his sell out one man hit, Being Boycie. Enjoy!
Recorded at the Kenton Theatre, Henley-On-Thames, on Sunday March 4th 2018.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL!
An expanded version of Carol Decker's recent festive interview with SNS Online (that featured in part 2 of our Collective Catch Up series). Here we get more music and chat for all T'Pau/Carol fans, including a focus on what some consider to be T'Pau's lost album of the late 90s, Red. We also ponder on some rather colourful language that Carol used during an addition of The Chase recently, that turned the air blue!!

We spotlight a gala performance of Ian Kershaw's The Greatest Play In The History Of The World at The Royal Exchange in Manchester, performed by Julie Hesmondhalgh and directed by Raz Shaw. The play has already garnered much attention at this year's Edinburgh Fringe, and looks set to have a long life in the years ahead - a play about life and love and time.
The performance on 26.09.18 was in honour of Tommy Stott, a local resident who helped raise over £25,000 for cancer charities, before he died of the disease.

From the UK and beyond, a hundred and sixty eight female pilots, alongside the men, transported a vast range of aircraft from the factories to the squadrons, sometimes flying in perilous weather conditions and without radios or instrument instruction.
One in ten ATA pilots died.
Our next show features author and historian, Diane Atkinson.

*Debbie ran the club during the 1960's with her father, the late, great Alf Geoghegan. In our companion 'Bitesized' show, Little Girl (Bells of Christmas), we talk to musician, Michael Armstrong, about a song Debbie's father wrote for her when she was young, which Michael has recently breathed new life into. Link below.
https://soundcloud.com/scratchnsniff-rte-pulse/sns-online-bitesized-series-3-little-girl-bells-of-christmas
In 1967, the owner of Liverpool's famous Cavern Club (and friend of The Beatles), Alf Geoghegan, wrote and recorded a song for his daughter, Debbie, for Christmas. For close to half a century that song has remained unheard outside of the immediate family.
Several years ago, Debbie and her husband Nigel met singer/songwriter, Michael Armstrong, and they have since become big fans of his music, even organising Michael’s debut album launch at The Cavern Club.
Last year, Debbie presented Michael with a copy of her father's Christmas song, which Michael, along with Warren Bennett, subsequently updated and recorded.
In our final show for 2016, Michael joins us in the studio to talk about breathing new life into a dad’s very personal tribute to his little girl.
'Little Girl (Bells of Christmas)' is performed by Michael Armstrong and features Brian Bennett and Warren Bennett.
Released in association with The Cavern Club in Liverpool and the brand new book 'Cavern Club: The Inside Story', written by Debbie Greenberg, both to coincide with the venue's 60th anniversary.
Listen here to our brand new, in-depth and fully illustrated interview with Debbie and her husband, Nigel – recorded in The Cavern Club itself – as we celebrate 60 years of The Mersey Beat. https://soundcloud.com/scratchnsniff-rte-pulse/sns-online-series-4-60-years-at-the-cavern-club

Changing Stations is a crowd funded, 11-track classical-contemporary album by Daniel Liam Glyn, based on the 11 main lines of the London Underground.
Daniel identifies himself as someone who has both Grapheme Colour and Spatial Sequence Synaesthesia; a neurological 'phenomenon' where a person perceives words, letters, shapes, and numbers in colour or sometimes taste and smell. This he has used to his advantage in the creation of his debut album - a truly multi-sensory experience that transports us to all corners of England’s capital city, allowing us to experience the sights, sounds and even smells of London, as well as the hidden thoughts and emotions of London’s daily commuters.
In this show we join Daniel, producer, Katie Tavini, and their Manchester based launch party for Changing Stations, to find out more about this incredible project.

Derek Fowlds is one of Britain's best loved actors, with a career spanning over 60+ years. He is known by a whole generation of children as 'Mr Derek' from The Basil Brush Show, then as Bernard Woolley, Principal Private Secretary to the Minister for Administrative Affairs, in Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn’s biting political satire, Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, and finally as Oscar Blaketon, in ITV’s Sunday night family drama, Heartbeat (throughout its eighteen year run). But as Mr Fowlds is keen to point out, these are just three of the many roles he’s played over the years - although he accepts that these are the most ‘iconic’ and high profile!
His theatre work includes leads in Hamlet, Billy Liar, Macbeth, Chips With Everything and The Miracle Worker. Over the years he has worked with such luminaries as Sir Alec Guinness, Alistair Sim, Kenneth Moore, Anna Massey, Sir John Guilgud, Benedict Cumberbatch and Daniel Craig.
In part 2 of this special feature length addition of SNS Online, Nick Randell visits ‘Mr Derek’ at his home in Bath, to talk about his wonderful career, and the people and experiences that helped to shape him along the way.
You'll also find this show acts as the perfect companion to Derek's new autobiography, *A Part Worth Playing, available from all good book shops or online outlets (see below links).

Derek Fowlds is one of Britain's best loved actors, with a career spanning over 60+ years. He is known by a whole generation of children as 'Mr Derek' from The Basil Brush Show, then as Bernard Woolley, Principal Private Secretary to the Minister for Administrative Affairs, in Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn’s biting political satire, Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, and finally as Oscar Blaketon, in ITV’s Sunday night family drama, Heartbeat (throughout its eighteen year run). But as Mr Fowlds is keen to point out, these are just three of the many roles he’s played over the years - although he accepts that these are the most ‘iconic’ and high profile!
His theatre work includes leads in Hamlet, Billy Liar, Macbeth, Chips With Everything and The Miracle Worker. Over the years he has worked with such luminaries as Sir Alec Guinness, Alistair Sim, Kenneth Moore, Anna Massey, Sir John Guilgud, Benedict Cumberbatch and Daniel Craig.
In part 1 of this special feature length addition of SNS Online, Nick Randell visits ‘Mr Derek’ at his home in Bath, to talk about his wonderful career, and the people and experiences that helped to shape him along the way.
You'll also find this show acts as the perfect companion to Derek's new autobiography, A Part Worth Playing, available from all good book shops or online outlets (see below links).

Can you fall in love with someone without knowing their gender?
In ‘Boy Stroke Girl’, Peter finds out when he falls for the sexually ambiguous ‘Blue’. But will such a relationship proves a challenge to Peter’s identity, forcing him to face some difficult questions? To what extent are we all encouraged to conform to narrow culturally defined stereotypes, to label and to pigeon-hole ourselves?
Peter’s passion for Blue provokes prejudice and hostility from friends and family, in a tale of sexual liberation and shattered taboos.

“I think all good actors are trying to shine a light on what it means to be human. And to look at human behaviour and contradiction.”

“There's a huge buzz in Manchester around Puppet Rebellion. To see a crowd singing along to a band that can count its gigs on both hands is a sign of greater and bigger things to come." - Louder Than War
“There’s a feeling when you listen to the EP that it isn’t designed to slowly grow on you, it’s almost as if it doesn’t want to wait for that, it’s not going to politely sit and wait for you to mull it over and decide if it’s interesting or not – it’s going to grab you by the unmentionables and take you on a quality ride.” – Given To Sound

History is always written by the victor. After Henry Tudor defeated Richard III at the battle of Bosworth, Tudor historians created the elaborate fiction of a deformed usurper who schemed and murdered his way onto the English throne. But who was the real Richard III?
Playwright, Ian Dixon Potter, attempts to set the record straight by presenting a more balanced historical view of Richard III, a view that doesn't conform to the grotesque character created by William Shakespeare in the sixteenth century.
Drawing on contemporary sources, unsullied by Tudor propaganda, ‘Good King Richard’ dramatises for the very first time, the true events which propelled Richard onto the throne of England and two years later, led to his downfall.
This is a tale of murder, betrayal, rebellion, revenge and political intrigue, starting with the drowning of the Duke of Clarence in a butt of Malmsey and ending on the eve of the Battle of Bosworth.
'Good King Richard' begins a two week run at The White Bear Theatre (nearest tube Kennington)from December 8th - 20th 2015, All details and how to purchase tickets can be found here http://www.goldenagetheatre.com/#!current-production/cb3i, or call Box Office: 0333 666 3366 (£1.50 booking per call). Tickets: £14 (£10 Conc.).
Over four centuries late, Good King Richard finally sets the record straight in both a refreshing and fascinating account of what really happened. Go see!

T'Pau - The Whole Story...
T’Pau’s Carol Decker joins SNS Online in part one (of two) of an extended interview, available here as a free download.
Having recently returned to the pop world with a brand new, critically acclaimed album, Pleasure & Pain, complete with UK tour, part one covers T’Pau’s early rise to fame, their quadruple platinum debut album, Bridge of Spies - and beyond - plus the lifestyle that they all enjoyed during that creative musical explosion that was the 1980s.
But why did it all stop when it did, and how different has motherhood affected Carol in recent years, as T’Pau once more steps into the limelight..?
In a very honest (and funny!) interview, Carol and Nick put the world to rights in a secret location in Henley-on-Thames (a pub), and not only cover T’Pau’s initial glory days, but discuss the wonderful pop culture of the 1980’s onwards (wearing black arm-bands for the demise of Top of the Pops...).
Illustrated with T’Pau’s hits and archive material.
A show to be enjoyed if you're a T'Pau/Carol Decker fan, or if you just want to immerse yourselves in that heady era of 80's nostalgia...

"...an exceptional, essential debut from (Rebecca/director) Johnson, one that should reward her with the attention that she so obviously deserves..." HEYUGUYS (08.05.2015)
4* star rating from The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw.
HONEYTRAP is a tragic teen romance, set in Brixton and inspired by true events. It tells the story of 15-year-old Layla, who sets up the boy in love with her to be killed.
The film explores the jigsaw of elements which allow gang culture to flourish, but it's also a story on a mythic scale: set in a world with its own kings and queens, a world where obsession and jealousies loom larger than life and where status is survival itself.
In the week of its UK release, associate producer, Paul Joseph, joins SNS Online to discuss the diary of this very special production.

HH4E essentially asks everyone to help in making handholding ‘a casual, carefree act for everyone’, and is requesting that people from all around the world send in photos of themselves holding hands with their partners, friends, family – essentially loved ones – regardless of sexuality and race and religion. The campaign is hoping to get the hashtag #HoldingHands trending, and ‘D’ day is the International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia on May 17th. In this interview, we talk to Andy about the inspiration for the campaign, the groundwork already done and the help that only you and I can give! If you only ever share one show from the SNS Online range - this is it. Make #HoldingHands trend, send your photographs in, wherever you are in the world, and let's all celebrate our diversity.

A short version of this piece has been broadcast on BBC Radio Merseyside.
EXTRAORDINARY LIVES. ONLINE.
As Series 2 of SNS Online continues, we're also allowing ourselves the chance to explore further subjects in SNS Online 'Bitesized'. The *Holding Hands 4 Equality campaign is a perfect example, harkening back to our LBGT community days on dance music station, RTÉ Pulse. HH4E essentially asks everyone to help in making handholding ‘a casual, carefree act for everyone’, and is requesting that people from all around the world send in photos of themselves holding hands with their partners, friends, family – essentially loved ones – regardless of sexuality and race and religion. The campaign is hoping to get the hashtag #HoldingHands trending, and ‘D’ day is the International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia on May 17th. In this interview, we talk to campaign founder, Southampton resident, Andy Cast, about the inspiration for the campaign, the groundwork already done and the help that only you and I can give! If you only ever share one show from the SNS Online range - this is it. Make #HoldingHands trend, send your photographs in, wherever you are in the world, and let's all celebrate our diversity.
Also broadcast on BBC Radio Merseyside.

In the second of our two Manchester bound shows, SNS Online caught up with actress, Cherylee Houston, to talk all things Izzy Armstrong from hit soap Coronation Street, Maz from BBC Radio 4's Tinsel Girl, Dorothy from BBC Three's I'm With Stupid, plus her day-to-day life dealing with type 3 *Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Confined to a wheelchair she maybe, but Cherylee is clearly unbound by her ambitions in the acting world and beyond - proving that you can do anything if you set your mind to it. Oh, and her song choices totally rock. That's Cherylee Houston, in conversation with Nick Randell, for SNS Online.

We take a short pause from our current run to help celebrate LGBT History Month.
LGBT History Month focuses on the celebration and recognition of LGBT people and culture, past and present, to give educators scope to talk about the bigger picture of LGBT experience - in which LGBT people were the agents of change rather than just victims of prejudice. In 2012, when ScratchNSniff was a community programme for the LGBT community (broadcast on national radio outlet, RTÉ), we produced two programmes featuring two extraordinary people who, time and time again, deliberately placed themselves in the firing line to help change occur in this country, and beyond. For the first time on Soundcloud, these shows are available to listen online or free to download. Our aim is to add to the repository of LGBT experience during this month of celebrations and study…
Our second show features LGBT activist, Peter Tatchell…
- “A strong, inspiring story about the magnificent international human rights campaigner, Peter Tatchell. You will be moved, shocked, informed and enlightened by his and his supporters’ bravery, plus what they have all achieved - against all odds - over the last 45 years. Illustrated with archive material.”

There’s A Playwright In My Soup!
Nick Randell joins multi-award winning playwright, author, script writer and actor, Terence Frisby, at his home in West London, to chew the fat and talk about his successful career to date.
There’s A Girl In My Soup, his long-running comedy that opened in 1966 at the Gielgud Theatre (formerly The Globe), ran for over 1,000 performances, before becoming a worldwide smash hit with long runs on Broadway, Paris (with Gérard Depardieu), Berlin, Stockholm, Sydney, Rome (starring the Italian singer-songwriter-actor, Domenico Modugno) and more. His script of the successful 1970 film (which starred Peter Sellers and Goldie Hawn)won the Writer’s Guild of Great Britain Award in 1970 for Best British Comedy Screenplay. But was Terence ultimately happy with what ended up on screen?
A charming and candid interview, covering…
Television - Adam Adamant/Lucky Fella/That’s Love (the last of which won the Gold Award for Comedy at the 1991 Houston International Film Festival).
Theatre - There’s A Girl In My Soup/Kisses On A Postcard (a musical - telling of his experiences as an evacuee as a 7-year-old from London to Cornwall during World War Two), Rough Justice (gripping courtroom drama starring Tom Conti about the fall-out from the death of a brain-damaged baby).
Radio - It’s Not Fair And Don’t Be Late (from which Kisses On A Postcard derives - won The Giles Cooper Award for BBC Radio Four and was broadcast no less than ten times in a few months on both BBC Radio 4 and BBC World Service).
Print - Kisses On A Postcard/Outrageous Fortune (*an autobiographical story about his fifteen years as a litigant-in-person in the High Court following his spectacularly awful divorce and custody battle).
Frisby has also worked extensively for 40 years as actor, director and producer.
